I’m at work and I’ve been silently contemplating my Xanga habits for the last few minutes. Trying to decide if I should pull back a little, post a little less often. I get the impression quality suffers with daily posts. Maybe if I posted only two to three times a week, it would be more interesting and more of a treat for my subscribers. I feel this way about a few of the pages I’m subbed to and get excited when I see these names rise to the top on my subscription menu with an update. I enjoy the daily updaters too but I suppose absence does make the heart grow fonder.
I feel I can only handle about 10 active subscriptions because I do like to take the time and completely read and consider everything I’m subbed to and leave decent comments. I’m over this number now and am reluctant to unsubscribe from anyone. I like the nice flavour array of writers that I’m subbed to. I had a system for a while where I would write whatever I felt like all day privately and at midnight, reread and make public what I liked from it. Maybe I’ll go back to that.

Balance is a good thing to take into consideration. Since you’ve brought it up I’ve been considering the same thing. I, too, notice that quality does suffer when you post often. One thing also to consider is to keep a decent schedule. I sometimes go without posting for a while and find myself with too much to talk about when I come back. So a lot gets jumbled and some things don’t even get mentioned, at least that’s been my experience. I’ve enjoyed your posts so far!

I do like your daily updates, but I have to agree with you, posting daily can draw things thin. Sometimes I feel my own posts are just word candy and really don’t do a thing for anyone, not even me. As Sunder says, find your balance… I’ll still be reading no matter what! ^_^

I agree that daily posts can get to be weak in the flavor of the writer and tedious for the reader. I find that if I have a life for a few days, that I have catch up work to do, and that takes the fun out of things. I enjoy your posts though and

That’s a really good idea. I think I’m subscribed to more than I can handle myself. I would love to hear from you everyday, but I know that my posts suffer when I write daily too. Maybe I’ll do what you do, and write as I go. In fact, I’m gonna get a notebook for that tonight. See? You’re inspirational 🙂 Just do whatever feels right to you.
